Passing --sysroot at runtime should not be needed. From the gcc installation
instructions:

-----8<-----
  --with-sysroot=dir
    [...] If the specified directory is a subdirectory of ${exec_prefix},
    then it will be found relative to the GCC binaries if the installation
    tree is moved.
-----8<-----

And from my experiments, it works as advertised, for once! :-]
